Both IntelliJ and ScalaIDE (eclipse) work fine with Play2, sometimes there are a few hiccups, but generally they are fine.  As to whether you use an IDE or a text editor, that's purely a matter of personal preference, I use a mixture depending on my current task.

Play produces a .gitignore file for you when it creates an application, making git very easy, but really you can use anything you want, it makes no difference.

Specs2 is what Play comes with out of the box for unit testing, but again, Play is test framework agnostic, it doesn't matter.

Please, could someone share some experience about it?

O have to say that NetBeans works quite ok as well. Only thing lacking is a good auto complete of scala code inside templates - but I guess no tool does this yet right?

The IntelliJ Play2 plugin does it.
